1. Applications of Rice's formula in oceanographic and environmental problems
Abstract : This thesis is based on five papers (A-E), all treating various applications of Rice's formula. The areas of application are oceanographic and environmental problems. The first three papers treat properties of encountering waves, that is, waves that a ship encounters while sailing on the ocean. READ MORE

2. Asymptotic Expansions of Crossing Rates of Stationary Random Processes
Abstract : The crossing rate of a stationary random process is a valuble tool when studying crest hight distributions and maxima of sea level elevation. This thesis considers two approximation techinques for cases when the crossing rate cannot be exactly computed. READ MORE

3. On flexible random field models for spatial statistics: Spatial mixture models and deformed SPDE models
Abstract : Spatial random fields are one of the key concepts in statistical analysis of spatial data. The random field explains the spatial dependency and serves the purpose of regularizing interpolation of measured values or to act as an explanatory model. READ MORE

4. Direct Calculation of Wave-Induced Loads and Fatigue Damage of Container Vessels
Abstract : Container ships and their rules for fatigue design are in several ways differentcompared with other types of commercial ships such as tankers and bulk carriers. Forexample, most modern container ships have a pronounced bow flare and an overhangstern. READ MORE

5. Statistical Analysis of Crests and Maxima in Gaussian Seas
Abstract : An important problem in ocean engineering is to find distributions for characteristic wave parameters. For wind-generated water waves at deep water, a Gaussian distribution for the wave-surface elevation is considered a reasonable model. READ MORE
